Getaway in the Red House

What is wearing the stars and wearing the moon, eating and sleeping in the open?Looking at the current state of Daiyu, Mu Zixuan and the others, it is clear at a glance.

After coming out of the capital, their group of ten started a long journey.In order to gain time, they traveled day and night without daring to stop for a while.

With the great help of the stations along the way, they rotated their carts and horses, and everything was settled on the road.Even though there was a carriage to let them rest from time to time, after seven or eight days of traveling like this, it still made everyone overwhelmed, all of them looked tired and crumbling.

During the period, Mu Zixuan and Mei Jinyu, who knew the inside story well, were amazed by Daiyu's performance.They knew that Daiyu was different from ordinary boudoir girls, but they really didn't expect Daiyu to be so strong!

Such an intensity of running and exhausting.Even the seven-foot man they are used to can't bear it, let alone a weak girl like her.

Seeing Daiyu's legs worn out from riding a horse every day, which made it difficult for her to walk, while Mu Zixuan felt sorry for her, she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart: she deserves to be someone who can stand side by side with her!Having a wife like this in this life has no regrets in life!

"Girl, look at how badly your leg is hurt! This war is fought by their men, what kind of fun is it for you, a boudoir daughter, to make such a fuss! Even if you are worried about the prince and Mr. Mei, you can't hold you!" Risk your life!"

Xueyan took the ointment sent by Mu Zixuan and wiped Daiyu's wounds, shed tears from distress, and babbled from time to time, scolding her daughter non-stop.

Daiyu endured the pain, and said with a wry smile: "Although what you said is true, let alone involving friends and family members, even thousands of innocent people, how can we sit idly by? It’s fine if you don’t have the ability. If you have the ability to let them survive but don’t rescue them, how can our conscience be at peace in the future? Besides, you should also know the truth that “there are no eggs under the nest”, so even if it’s not for them, Even for ourselves, we have to go through it all."

Xueyan was silent, let out a long sigh, and said nothing more.Of course she knew the importance of the matter, and she only spoke like this because she felt so distressed seeing the girl's bruised appearance.

Speaking of which, Xueyan was luckier than Daiyu, and didn't suffer so many crimes.Because she didn't know how to ride a horse, she spent the rest of the time riding with Mu Zixuan's personal attendant, Mu Yuan. With his protection, she was not injured.

Although this act was a little unruly and made Xueyan very uncomfortable, fortunately, except for a few insiders, in the eyes of the rest of the people, Xueyan was just a handsome servant, which saved her from being accused. Pointing and pointing becomes the laughing stock of others.

As the border town approached, the atmosphere of war became stronger.On the long official road, people who fled with their families were seen from time to time.Their faces were full of panic and confusion, and they didn't know when they would be able to return to their homes and live a peaceful life.

Daiyu and his party looked at all this along the way, feeling extremely depressed, resentful towards Prince Zhongshun who provoked the war.After leaving the capital, Mu Zixuan told Daiyu the truth behind the war.

It turned out that both Qiang and Xia invaded the Yun Dynasty at the same time, all of which were instigated by Prince Zhongshun.In order to achieve his goal of usurping the throne, Prince Zhongshun promised great benefits to the two countries. After he promised to help him succeed, he ceded a lot of land to the two countries and borne all the expenses of this war. As for the other conditions of losing power and humiliating the country, I don’t know How much did you promise.

Although the Qiang and Xia countries are small and weak, they have disproportionate ambitions. They have always been eyeing the Yun Dynasty, which has a vast land and abundant resources, but they are temporarily dormant because they think they are not the opponents of the Yun Dynasty.Now that he has Prince Zhongshun as an internal response, he can't wait to send troops.

As for Nan'an County King's defeat on the battlefield, it was not accidental, but he did it on purpose.Because he was drawn over by Prince Zhongshun long ago, and became a gangster.

If it wasn't for Mu Zixuan and Shui Rong noticing that there was something wrong with the King of Nan'an County, they joined forces with the crown prince to urge the emperor to send Chu Zhao, the prince of Xining, as his deputy to help and monitor, and the border city would have been handed over to the Kingdom of Xia by the King of Nan'an County.

Now, with the help of Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and others, Chu Zhao has seized the military power of the king of Nan'an County, controlled the entire border city, and worked together with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to resist Xia Jie's attack again and again.

Because Xia Kingdom is located in a grassland and desert, its army has always been brave and good at fighting, and its terrifying fighting power is very troublesome.However, Yunchao's army has been slack for a long time, and if they confront it head-on, they will suffer heavy losses.Therefore, the imperial court finally decided to replace Guo with false ways, encircle Wei and save Zhao, and turn the tide with four or two thousand jins of power.

At the same time Daiyu and the others left the capital, the county king of Xining, who had pacified the southwest, used the Qiang Kingdom to disguise himself and quietly lead the army to slowly outflank the capital of Xia Guoguo, which was empty of troops.

In order to prevent Xia Guo's main force from finding out that something was wrong and send their troops back to protect them, the border town had to hold back Xia Jie to buy time for Xining County King to go straight to Huanglong.So Chu Zhao led the soldiers and civilians in the border towns to launch fierce offensive and defensive battles.

So far, Daiyu has fully realized the importance of this trip.These grains and grasses are not only the life-saving grains that the border towns are eager to see through, but also the key to the trend of the war.With these grains and grasses, the border town can persist for a longer period of time, laying the foundation for the final victory of the war.

From this, Daiyu made up her mind that no matter what the price was, she would send food and grass to the border town.

After traveling all the way, Daiyu and her party finally arrived at Xiangcheng, where the grain and grass were located, which was about a hundred miles away from the border town.Before he had time to gossip with the general who defended the city, Mu Zixuan took out the imperial decree and prepared to move the grain and grass.

The general guarding the city saw that Mu Zixuan did not call up the army, but sent them to stand near the grain field and not allow anyone to enter, he was puzzled and very surprised by this.It wasn't until Mu Zixuan said that he had invited an expert from outside the world to come to help him, that he half-believed and reluctantly left temporarily.

Mu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief until there were no more idle people waiting in the grain yard. Except for himself and Mei Jinyu who accompanied Daiyu, the rest of the people also went out to monitor the outside under the leadership of Xueyan and Mu Yuan. movement.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, Daiyu took out the dzi bead under Mu Zixuan's signal, and began to put food and grass into it.

Mu Zixuan and Mei Jinyu, who were still apprehensive at first, saw the piles of grain and grass quickly disappear into the dzi beads (actually space) before their eyes. The strange sight made them open their mouths in disregard of their appearance, and they were stupid. Standing there unresponsive.

While collecting grain and grass, Daiyu took the time to check the situation in the space.Because the space is not too big, this huge amount of grain and grass had to be piled up on his own grain field and vegetable garden as much as possible.Fortunately, after Daiyu decided to help, she put all the grain and vegetables on the land into the warehouse, otherwise she would really feel distressed to death.

Daiyu didn't stop until about [-]% of the grain and grass in the grain farm had been harvested.Wake up the two who are still in a daze and can't extricate themselves, and ask what to do next.Mu Zixuan and Mu Zixuan shook their heads and came to their senses, then hurried out with Daiyu.

After finding the general who defended the city, he asked for a few sets of uniforms for the Xia army, and two soldiers who were familiar with the environment of the border town as guides.

The general who defended the city didn't understand why they left in a hurry without escorting the food and grass. When he saw the grain field which was mostly empty, his jaw dropped in shock and he yelled to the sky: "God bless me, Yunchao! This battle must be won!" ah!"……

At this time, Daiyu and the others could no longer care about the general, they rushed all the way to the vicinity of the border town.At this time, it was sinking to the west day by day, and because the border city was built on both sides by mountains, the terrain was so steep that there was no way out.The other two sides were heavily surrounded by the Xia** team, and it was almost impossible to force their way through.

Led by their guide, they came to the mountain south of the border town. On the cliff, there was a narrow path accidentally discovered by the woodcutter, which could lead to the wall of the border town with difficulty. Although there were summer squads coming and going there from time to time, there were not many of them. It's possible to get away with it.

Considering that this trip is not suitable for many people, Mu Zixuan decided that he and Mei Jinyu would protect Daiyu to pass through the barrier, while the rest of the people waited here. After receiving the news that they entered the city safely, they immediately returned to Xiangcheng. There to wait for the end of the war.

The three of Daiyu set off under everyone's worried and blessing eyes, and walked cautiously towards the border town along the trembling path.The sky gradually darkened, and the path appeared and disappeared under the reflection of the torches, making it even more difficult for the three of them to move forward.

"Wow..." Mei Jinyu, who was walking in front, accidentally stepped on the gravel, and her whole body involuntarily slid towards the abyss.Daiyu, who was caught in the middle, had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.But because she used too much force, she took a step back into the abyss. Fortunately, Mu Zixuan watched her every move all the time, and supported her in time.I could only hear the rubble falling into the abyss, which shocked the three of them into a cold sweat.

Going forward again, the road ahead is even more difficult.Fortunately, the three of them were skilled in kung fu and had been mentally prepared for a long time. Although there were frequent dangers and dangers, it took most of the night to walk all the way to the foot of the mountain without any danger.At this time, the three of them were covered with bruises, and their clothes were even torn by rocks and branches.

The three of them rested for a while, each looking for a place to change into the Xia Guo costumes they brought, and after calming down, they quickly groped towards the city wall of the border city.Along the way, the three of them evaded the Xia Guo soldiers who were patrolling back and forth from time to time, and sneaked around every corner.

It can be considered that God blesses the Yun Dynasty, and the Xia Kingdom should be defeated.It was the coldest time in the border city these few days, and the soldiers were unbearable from the cold, and their spirits were inevitably a little slack.Besides, they didn't expect that someone would come down from the cliff, and it was a coincidence that Daiyu and the three of them took advantage of the loophole and went all the way to the city wall smoothly.

Looking at the smooth and slippery ice wall in front of them, Mu Zixuan and Mei Jinyu looked at each other and lost their minds.It is indeed a good way to prevent the enemy from attacking by pouring water into ice on the city wall, but now it also blocks the life outside the city.If you send a message about this and notify the people above to come to help, not to mention whether they believe it or not, even if they believe it, the patrolling people will be alarmed, and no one will be able to escape when they come to catch them all.

When the two were at a loss what to do, they saw Daiyu roll up her sleeves and a strange thing appeared on her wrist.She lightly pressed it with her hand, and immediately shot a flying arrow from it, with a long metallic silk rope, it shot towards the high city wall, broke through the thick ice layer, and firmly landed on it. into the city wall.

Before Mu Zixuan could react, he was held by Daiyu with one arm. With a movement of his wrist, the two of them flew towards the city wall quickly, and disappeared on the high city wall in an instant.Mei Jinyu, who was left outside the city, wiped her eyes, still not believing what she saw.It wasn't until Daiyu put Mu Zixuan down and came back to pick him up that he was convinced that he was not dazzled and everything he saw was true.

When the two of them went up to the city wall again, Mu Zixuan had already revealed his identity to the guarding soldiers who noticed the anomaly and rushed over.The soldier was still afraid that the three of them were spies of the Xia Kingdom, so he asked them to wait here until General Chu Zhao came here to verify their identities before allowing them to leave.The three of them didn't care about this, but admired the soldier's dedication to his duties.

After a while, Chu Zhao and Liu Xianglian arrived in a hurry after getting the news, and they were ecstatic to see the three of them.Before they had time to ask in detail, they took them back to the General's Mansion for a rest.

Along the way, Daiyu saw that most of the houses in the city were demolished, and the wood and stones were neatly piled up under the city wall, as weapons against the enemy.And many people in ragged clothes and disheveled faces were just wrapped in all kinds of clothes and bedding, sleeping in the cold weather.

Although they were shivering from the cold, none of them was dissatisfied or complained. There was only high fighting spirit on their frostbitten faces and a firm determination to destroy the invading enemy.Affected by this, Daiyu's heart also surged with great ambitions, and she regained the high-spirited state of mind in her previous life, determined to fight side by side with these simple soldiers and civilians, until the enemy is completely driven out of Yunchao's land!

Because the three of Daiyu had been running around for nearly half a month, and now the mission was completed, they couldn't hold on any longer.After Mu Zixuan sent Liu Xianglian to send a signal to Mu Yuan and others who were staying on the mountain, he urged Daiyu to go back to her room to rest.Daiyu didn't care about being polite at this time, so she washed up a bit and fell asleep on the bed, so she didn't know when it would be.

Mu Zixuan held on to discuss the military situation with Chu Zhao, and told him that the food and grass needed would be delivered to him tomorrow.Afterwards, Mei Jinyu and Mei Jinyu ignored Chu Zhao's full of doubts, followed in Daiyu's footsteps, and played chess with Duke Zhou.

As for what kind of surprises the three of Minger and Mu Zixuan will bring him, and how to defend against the enemy with the same hatred and united will, I will not describe them one by one here...

Just when Daiyu was enduring the test of blood and fire in the border town and fighting the enemy with real swords and guns, a war without gunpowder was also going on in the capital thousands of miles away.

The cause of the incident must start with Xue's family. Since Xue Pan was imprisoned, after repeated investigations, he was found guilty of beating Feng Yuan to death.Just as Xue's family was weeping and mourning, a thunderbolt came one after another, and Xue Pan's qualification as an imperial merchant was deprived!Due to Xue Pan's poor management, he suffered a lot of losses.Now that he has lost his position as an imperial merchant, he has to make up for the shortfall he owed before.

According to the nature of the Xue family, if the debt was owed to common people and ordinary people, they would have to force others to pay off the debt, but now what they owe is money from the imperial court, but they are not something they can resist, so no matter what Feeling distressed, after all, he sold his family property, storefront, land, and Zhuangzi to collect a few 10 taels of silver and handed it over to the state treasury to settle the matter.

It's just that after this disaster, the Xue family was completely defeated.After all the calculations, Xue's family now only has one silk and satin shop that is operating poorly, barely maintaining the daily expenses.For this reason, Xia Jingui made a fuss by jumping up and down, yelling and killing Aunt Xue every day.In the end, Baochai really couldn't see her mother being tortured by her, and finally persuaded her mother to allow her to return to her natal family for a temporary stay.

Hearing this, Xia Jingui immediately packed up all the dowry and silver jewelry that Xue Pan had given her earlier, and returned to her natal home with Baochan's burden.From then on, Aunt Xue, who was alone, had no choice but to rely on Baochai, and swallow her breath under the snobbish eyes of Jia's family.

Xue's family fell, and Baochai was also affected by it, and her status in Jia's mansion dropped a lot. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her was also much colder, but Ying'er became more and more pampered because of her pregnancy, and from time to time she was in the house. Baoyu embarrassed Baochai in front of him.At this time, Baoyu blindly stood by Ying'er's side and criticized Baochai, which completely wiped out Baochai's affection for Baoyu.

Realizing the gap brought about by power and wealth, Baochai is actively planning to regain the imperial business position like never before.

In her mind, as long as she regains the position of Imperial Merchant, even though her elder brother is doomed to fail, he can adopt an heir for his mother from a side branch of the Xue family, and then regain control of a large amount of wealth. So obediently begging their Xue family, when the time comes, the humiliation suffered by their mother and daughter will be returned as it is!

For the bright future in this fantasy, Baochai instructs a few confidantes he has bought to inquire about the news, and racks his brains to find ways to achieve his wish.Just when they were very active in planning this matter, a piece of news that made them desperate came, that the position of imperial merchant was actually in favor of someone!

When Baochai heard this, she was furious, and immediately smashed the cups, bowls and teacups on the table to pieces, frightening all the little girls until their faces paled and they dared not move.Baochai suppressed the anger in her chest and asked who the new emperor merchant was.After learning from his confidantes that this person's surname was Xue Mingbing, and that he was from Jinling, Baochai suddenly fell down on the chair in fright, unable to recover for a while.

After a long time, Baochai waved the little girl to go out, and she smiled wryly silently. With the fluctuation of emotions, the laughter became more and more crazy, and the hysterical laughter made the girls outside the door cold and frightened.Baochai only wiped away her tears when the depression in her chest was vented, and returned to her usual appearance as a magnanimous and calm housekeeper.

After calling the little girl to help her wash and tidy up, Baochai walked towards a small courtyard in the remote part of Jia's mansion with a smile on her face.Since the collapse of the Xue family, Mrs. Wang has found various excuses to take Lixiangyuan back.Because Aunt Xue is her own sister after all, if she does too much, her reputation will be hindered, so Mrs. Wang found another small courtyard with great reluctance and asked her to move in.Now Aunt Xue is here with Xiangling and a few servants, living in desolation with countless cold eyes and cold words.

Baochai walked into the small courtyard and came to Aunt Xue's room. When she entered, she saw Aunt Xue with Xiangling and Tongxi working as needleworkers.Although there was a charcoal fire in the room, it was extremely inferior charcoal, and the smoke in the room was so smoky that Baochai coughed.

"Mom, what are you doing! No matter how difficult the days are, you can't even bear to burn a little charcoal, right? Besides, a few days ago, didn't I send my mother-in-law to send two baskets of silver frost charcoal? It's only been three or two days The time will burn out, won't it?"

Aunt Xue felt cold, and when she looked up, Baochai was lifting the curtain and walking in, she just wanted to get up to speak, when she saw Baochai frowning and asking in a cold voice while coughing.

Aunt Xue was at a loss for words for a while, and stood there with an awkward smile, at a loss.Seeing this, Xiangling and Tongxi hurriedly packed up their things and let Baochai onto the kang.Tong Xi hurriedly brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Baochai. Baochai picked it up and only glanced at it, then pushed it aside with a hint of disgust.

Knowing that the girl and his wife had something to say, Xiangling and Tongxi withdrew together.The mother and daughter sat chatting on the kang, and Baochai learned that the silver frost charcoal sent by the former son, Aunt Xue took it for only an hour, and was taken away by Mrs. Wang.

When Baochai heard this, she became angry and at the same time strengthened her thoughts just now.For the time being, she put aside her dislike for everyone in the Jia family, and whispered in Aunt Xue's ear...

A few days later, a group of uninvited guests drove up in front of Lin's house, breaking the peaceful atmosphere in the house and disturbing people's peaceful life...
